Be Impactful

The M.S. in Management is designed to be complementary to your undergraduate education; your individual experience and additional training will define how you leverage your new degree. Typically, students who enroll in this degree have 1 of the following goals.

Gain Business Skills for a Chosen Industry or Profession

These students want to enter a specific industry or profession directly related to their undergraduate major, and they anticipate a need for business skills to achieve their immediate or long-term career plans:

  • A film production student who wants to pursue a corporate position with a film studio.
  • A visual arts student who wants a career managing art galleries.
  • A communications student who wants a leg up when applying for marketing positions.
  • An engineering student who wants to accelerate their path towards leadership in technology firms.
  • An international relations student who wants to work for a global business.

This category also includes non-business majors who have a few years of work experience and decided to level up their business skills to advance in their new-found profession.
